That's why God made the Moon

John Elefante


I used to think that lonliness was meant for me
Like a message in a bottle lost out in the sea
But now that we're together
my whole world has been made new
I wanna live my life for you
And every star up in the sky
has driven me to testify
that I wanna know you

That's why God made the moon
For nights like these when we dream of all eternity
As the angels sing the twilight symphony
They sing la-de-de-de-da-da
la-de-de-de-da-da tonight
That's why God made the moon

There's a city in the distance
but it seems so far away
It's a place where lonely hearts await
The Son to light their day
But up here I know it's silent
There's no sorrow to be found
just heaven all around
And every star up in the sky
has driven me to testify
that I wanna know you

And we all must feel the same
as we look up to a world that never ends
It's hard to think that this is all coincidence
Cause in the darkness we need light to find our way
